Answer:

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation with roots a and b has the equation (x - a)(x - b) = 0.

You roots are 1 and -3.

The equation is

(x - 1)(x - (3)) = 0

(x - 1)(x + 3) = 0

We can multiply it out.

x^2 + 3x - x - 3 = 0

x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0

Since we need the leading coefficient to be 4, we multiply both sides by 4.

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Answer:

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first write it in factor form.

4(x - 1)(x + 3) = 0

4(x^2 + 2x - 3) = 0

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0 (answer).

Solve for c in the equation 32c = 128.
pishuonlain [190]

<u>Answer</u>

A. c = 4


<u>Explanation</u>

In algebra, what you do to one side of the equation, the same has to be done on the other side.

32c = 128

divide both sides by 32

32c = 128.

32c ÷ 32 = 128 ÷ 32

c = 128/32

 = 4

In the figure, solve for x and y.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

y=124°

x=67°

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangle on the right

180-74-50=56°

then y= 180-56=124°

For the triangle on the middle (that small triangle)

180-85(Head opposite angles)-50=45°

So

x=180-45-68=67°

heyy soo i just started math class and im veryy confused I've tried different things to get to the answer but it didn't work soo
german

yes sure, i learned this before so

1. a. make a proportion here, of percentage. \frac{225}{250} =\frac{x}{100} if you cross multiply and divide you get 90%.

1. b. obviously the empty seats would be 10%.

2. a. proportion again, \frac{0.90}{6.00} =\frac{x}{100} cross multiply then divide you ge 15%

3. 30% in decimal form is 0.3. multiply it then to the total amount, so 0.3 x 15 = 4.5
